Tiny Victories

I have TWO friends and their kids booked to come play today! Probably only one will make it but I don’t care because we got as far as inviting people!!!

York barbell is having a pretty good sale on some things I’ve been putting off buying for a couple years. It’s about 35 minutes from where I work, so I’ll wander down there at lunch and make my gym life much easier.

I had two friends plus their kids over! This was too many people for me and Duckling and he had me kick everyone out but we survived and I feel properly socialised!

Instead of being annoyed that my dog has found dried pieces of the Christmas tree somewhere under the buffet, I’m calling it a victory that I don’t have to find/clean them. He’s doing it for me.

An amazing forum friend sent me these amazing woolen slippers.


I am so grateful.

Got stuff we needed on a very good sale, and stacked coupons to make it an even better one. Then got a $1 credit off the order for choosing to have it in fewer shipments.

A neighbor was giving away a practically new food processor on Buy Nothing and just yesterday I was lamenting giving ours away a few years ago.

I will now commence in slicing all the vegetables AND making macarons this weekend

OH MAN. I use or food processor for hommus and that’s about it but omg I can slice all the things and I didn’t even think of it! THANK YOU.

My victory is a gratefulness thing but I can’t find the gratefulness thread… I’ve got an incredible amount of energy and can’t believe the effects of both modern medicine and proper nutrition.

Don’t forget it also shreds. (Or mine does, anyway). This is good because my bum shoulder means I can no longer do it manually.

I’m all about the shaved brussel sprouts. Also great for shredding cabbage and carrots for stir frys and curries.

Was able to lay back down for a nap after getting up way too early. 30 extra minutes of sleep :raised_hands:

A coworker has been losing weight and gave me three pairs of jeans that don’t fit her anymore and all three of them fit me! I HATE shopping for jeans, this is a miracle!

I was finally able to donate a bicycle to a group who teaches kids how to fix up bikes, and then lets them keep the bike. It was in pretty decent condition, but we didn’t need an extra bike in the garage, we already had two.

I wanted to sleep in but instead I got up and went for a walk.
